Teeth Whitening
If your teeth have become discolored or stained from smoking, coffee or tea drinking, or tetracycline use, you can turn back the dental hands of time with several safe and effective teeth whitening methods.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
In office teeth whitening is one of the safest and quickest ways to safely whiten your teeth. During this process, Dr. Weinfield will place a protective rubber dam around your gums and apply a solution of 15 to 35 percent carbamide peroxide, a chemical found in most teeth bleaching products, to your teeth. Depending on your selected teeth whitening method, Dr. Weinfield may also use a laser or special lamp to speed up the bleaching process. In office teeth whitening can give you dazzlingly white teeth in under an hour
Zoom! Whitening is the most popular of these teeth whitening methods. Safe and powerful, Zoom whitening can make your teeth up to 8 shades whiter in just one visit.
Home Use Teeth Whitening
If you'd prefer not to wait in the office, Dr. Weinfield can create clear, customized teeth bleaching trays for you and recommend a bleaching solution. You can pour this solution, which usually contains 10 percent carbamide peroxide, in the trays and wear them during the day or at night, at home or work, to whiten your teeth. We recommend that you use the trays for an hour a day over one to two weeks to achieve the best effects, but you will notice the brighter teeth from bleaching immediately.
